Black And White Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The apples ripe upon the bow
the orange on [E]the tree
[Am]The hands were black that
picked the fruit
[E]for you, [Am]but not for me

[Verse 2]
Diamonds [Am]shining in the rock
gleaming white and [E]blue
[Am]Ten hours a day in the diamond [E]mines
for me, but [Am]not for you

[Verse 3]
A sea [Am]of grass and mountain ranges
beckoning [E]the free
[Am]A place to walk with head [C]held high
[E]for you, [Am]but not for me

[Verse 4]
The burning sun of Africa the sky [E]that's always
blue
[Am]Apartheid and the pass [C]laws
for [E]me, [Am]but not for you

[Verse 5]
A big land, a rich land stretched from
[E]sea to sea
[Am]And all the riches of the earth
for you, but not for me

[Verse 6]
A big land, a gracious land [F]a land where
old meets [E]new
The [Am]bul lets fired at [E]Sharpville were
for me, [Am]but not for you

[Verse 7]
You've planted seeds of fear [Am]and hate
in all who would be [E]free
[Am]At harvest time the fruit [C]will be
[Am]for you, [E]and[Am] not for me
